    Hi All, Major worries this am, alarm didn't go off, got out of bed late, the train I usually catch gone, the next one cancelled, following one re-timed (read late, but if re-timed they don't have to pay compensation). Being that I work in a small village outside of a city (Bristol) there is a very good train service but being a small commuter village the trains can 'skip' the stop if needed. So a train service is very good gets really bad quick...:~ Ooh look spammers are back!

    Why worry about being late? Make up for it at the other end of the day. If you get in an hour late (+1 hour) make up by leaving an hour early (-1 hour). 1 + -1 = 0 Fixed.

    Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

          I am in the middle of changing positions and companies; taking a week of vacation. So... did I get up late? No.. I was up at 4:30, stoke the fire, start the coffee. Then, meet a group for an outdoor workout session at 5:15 - aerobic exercise, running, lifted concrete blocks... back home about 6:15 to have coffee with my wife. Good start to the day; soon, I will be cutting, splitting, stacking firewood - great way to spend vacation time!

            Weird. I forgot to turn my alarm of, so of course I got up late. I wonder if this is the work of an alien presence.

            That is weiRd my alarm went off 3 times.

            Don't let your mind wander too far. It's too small to be let out alone.

                  I often wake before my alarm goes off. Then I have to stay awake in order to hit snooze when it does.

                    It has been my habit to meet the group Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning; but Saturday starts at 7:00. I enjoy the exercise and fellowship, and then the coffee to warm me up later. As far as cutting wood, it is my exercise of choice; something I've done my entire life and absolutely enjoy... followed again by coffee.

                        Isn't this the job you got after a very long time of looking for one? Not sure. Anyhow, I suggest you rethink your "waking up" strategy, as this type of stuff can get you canned from a job real quick - at least where I work. Good luck. :thumbsup:

                          Power cut had taken mains based alarms out, battery backups hadn't really been set this year. Thankfully were flex time. :rolleyes:

                            Ah, yes, public transportation. People keep asking me why I don't rely on it.
